Kardinia Parkside Care Community

⭐ Exceptional ‘Five Star’ Leadership and Support from Tamil. Moving a loved one into residential care is a massive transition, but Tamil at Kardinia Parkside Care Community made the experience incredibly smooth and reassuring.Tamil guided me through the application process with immense patience, clear communication, and deep professional knowledge. He walked me through every single step, answering all of my questions and taking away the stress that usually comes with such an important move. Beyond his administrative excellence, what truly makes Tamil special is his dedication to the residents themselves. He manages the home with genuine care, ensuring that everyone is looked after, comfortable, and treated with dignity. He is actively involved, highly approachable, and always puts the well-being of the residents first.Having Tamil at the helm gives me complete confidence. He is a phenomenal asset to Opal HealthCare, and I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and support.. Thank you… Robyn

Thank you especially to Tami who greeted us on day one. An absolute asset to Opal Care. Tami you are superb in your role. Your professionalism, knowledge, kindness and empathy is second to none. You are appreciated. Thank you.

Kardinia Parkside staff and admin team have been wonderful. Everyone is kind, professional and always helpful, making everything much easier for families as well as residents. My husband is cared for with genuine compassion and respect, which gives us great peace of mind. Thank you all for your hard work and support.

It was a big decision to place my husband into residential care. I am so happy with our choice at Kardinia Parkside. He is in the memory support unit and requires a lot of care. The nurses and carers show compassion and patience often going above and beyond their position description. I have come to know all the staff on the lower level the cooks, cleaners and laundry, no request is too difficult. We are always greeted with a smile. The receptionists at Kardinia Parkside are amazing making positive comments when we go out or return from an outing. It has taken a few months, but my husband, I feel, has grown to trust the staff enough to relax and even sit for a little in the common area. Thank you so much Kardinia Parkside myself and family are so grateful for your care and empathy.

Hi Sarah, thank you for organising today and last visit too. You are an asset to Kardinia Parkside Care Community, your people skills reflect throughout the environment and in all your staff. Leaving dad with you guys today felt so nice. No regrets, no worry, only a good feeling. He looked comfortable and satisfied with where he is, it was as though we left him with family. Kath at the front desk and the friendly and caring staff all added to the easy, laid back feel and the transition from hospital to kardinia parkside. ( thank you Kathy for helping me with the paper work process). Dad also felt familiar, coming back to his old room. Seeing Karen was the cherry on top. I hadn't seen her since high school. Was lovely. Your group generate such a lovely vibe within your home, its truely a blessing for all of us Thank you Kindest regards Lily & family

I would thoroughly recommend placing your loved one here. My mother is currently a resident within the Kardinia Parkside community. Since joining, the staff have actively engaged her in activities that suit her needs and abilities. This has given her a purpose and has improved her health considerable. She looks younger, is more active and is a lot better health than before when she was at home. The staff are amazing, from the administration staff, the cleaners and all the PCA’s and Nurses. Doctors visit onsite and an RN is onsite and will visit at the drop of a hat. They serve a wide variety of food, have fantastic facilities and the rooms are quite spacious. The underground car park makes it easy to visit and if you have a question, everyone is happy to help! It gives me great peace of mind to know that my mum is safe and sound.

A friend of mine has not had a happy time. Had to wait forever for staff to take him to toilet and was abused by staff because they were too busy. Pain relief was withheld and only reinstated when his doctor phoned. Relatives were not notified when he was sent to hospital until they phoned to enquire about him. Not a happy place. What a shame to be treated so poorly at end of life.
